Notes
More often found in bronze, less often in red – but this is the first we have ever seen in metallic green! One-piece black wheels and tyres (Speedwheels). Issued for a short time only, we surmise, at the start of the production run (1975-79), since it is presented in the red and yellow window box (clean, bright and fresh, with an unpunched header card and intact original cellophane).
The model has several little marks.
